Baked Cod Recipe

Cod is my favorite fish, other than swai fish and tilapia.

Oven baked cod is one of the best fish recipes and the end result is always juicy and moist.

As cod fillets have very mild flavor, you only need a few ingredients such as lemon and olive oil to bake the fish.

How to Bake Cod?

To bake cod fillets in an oven, first you need a baking tray. I like using a glass baking tray.

You can also line a piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and place the fish on top of it before baking.

The perfect temperature for baking cod fish is 400°F or 205°C.

How long to bake cod? The answer is 10 – 12 minutes; the baking time for cod fish depends on the thickness of the fish.

DO NOT overcook the fish fillets or they will turn dry and rubbery.

Can I Use Frozen Cod Fillets?

Yes. Thaw the frozen cod fillet at room temperature before cooking. Do not cook frozen fish straight out of the freezer as the texture will be tough.

After thawing, do make sure you pat dry the fish fillets with paper towels to remove excess water inside the fish. This simple step will make sure that there is no cloudy “fish water” seeping out after baking, and the natural sweetness of cod will shine through.
